What you can do >>>

• Believe survivors

• Know that the CVSC is here to help.

• Examine systemic inequities that contribute to human oppression and targeted violence.

• Be willing to learn, listen, and engage in conversations about race and racism.

• Find your voice. When you speak up, others will, too. Ask for ideas about how to counter hate at civic, neighborhood and community meetings.

• Show support for community members who have been targeted. Show up at vigils, send letters and messages showing you care.

• Ask your local leaders, law enforcement, educators, and youth to participate in awareness raising events.

The blue pinwheel is a national symbol for child abuse revention. The pinwheels reflect the bright future all children deserve. The pinwheel is a positive emblem of the effect we can have when we work together to prevent child abuse. We would love to see these pinwheels all over Whitman County and invite you to help us work to spread the word about child abuse prevention in our community. Visit ATVP’s table in Pullman’s Gladish Community Center to get your FREE pinwheels and yard signs.

Preventing child abuse is everyone’s responsibility. If you suspect a child is being abused or neglected, please say something. Report it to: 1- 866-ENDHARM (1-866- 363-4276).
